Hi, I'm Hendrik I love JavaScript, so I guess I'm a little crazy. Have been coding professionally for well over 15 years now and as a hobby for even longer.
You are certainly right about the lock-in of these frameworks. However with SSR being the trend it is nowadays, frameworks like React can be used without browsers even needing to have JavaScript enabled in the browser.
That may not sound like much of an argument, but there really are some valid cases where you would need the UI to still work without JavaScript. What would be your take on that?
Online since 1990 Yes! I started with Gopher. I do modern Web Component Development with technologies supported by **all** WHATWG partners (Apple, Google, Microsoft & Mozilla)

Sure, I once read about a case where they were developing a website for suicide prevention. The design philosophy there was that the site should always present the information, the site should not be dependent on JavaScript to display, just in case it was turned off.
There is a growing number of people that choose to turn it off because they do not want to be tracked.
Lastly, although screen readers and other accessibility tools nowadays can cope pretty well with the modern web, those tools still struggle with SPA's.

Can you name those valid cases?

"I once read"
"a growing number people"
Where are the sites that actual do not run on JS?
You can turn off JavaScript and see for yourself. Government websites would be a good place to start.
